What's inside?
What's inside?
120 murder cases, each one buried in a word search grid. Find the listed words, and the letters left behind become your evidence - unscramble them to name the killer, the method, and the location. A tutorial case shows you how before you start, and full solutions sit at the back.
Notice more, miss less, one case at a time
Most puzzle books pass the time. Murdsearch gives something back. Every case sharpens your eye for the detail everyone else scanned straight past - because the evidence is never in the words you're handed, it's in what's left once they're gone.
Twenty relaxed minutes later, you've named a killer, and you did it by noticing what nobody else did.
sharper deduction with every case you finish
The more you solve, the sharper your mind gets
The first case or two, you'll stumble into the answer. By case twenty, something has changed - you know which leftovers matter and where a killer tends to hide.
That's what 120 cases buy you: enough repetition to turn lucky guesses into a method you trust, and enough variety that it never stops being a challenge.

My husband and I fight over it!
We started doing one together on Sunday mornings and now we both want the book. He spots the words, I work out the evidence. Best thirty quid I've spent on the two of us all year.
-
It replaced my phone at night!
I used to scroll until my eyes hurt. Now I do a case before bed instead, and I sleep better for it. Twenty minutes, one killer caught, lights off.
-
Nothing else does this.
I've bought puzzle books for thirty years and I've never had one make me actually think. Finding the words is the easy part. Working out who did it from what's left over is a completely different game, and I'm hooked on it.
-
I thought it'd be too hard.
Almost didn't buy it because I'm not a detective type. The tutorial case at the front sorted that out in ten minutes, and I've closed forty since. It's much easier than it looks, and much better than it sounds.
-
The moment it clicks.
There's a second where the leftover letters stop being random and suddenly the name is just sitting there. I don't know how to describe it other than brilliant. Every case has one.
-
It's made me sharper at work!
Sounds ridiculous for a puzzle book, but I catch things in documents now that I'd have skimmed straight past six months ago. Same skill, different page.
